Until recently, forge laminating two high carbon steel alloys together was considered impossible, but advances in laminating technology have now made it possible to laminate two different high carbon \u003cem\u003eHagane\u003c\/em\u003e steel alloys, such as VG-10 and VG-2, together. Master Yamamoto’s multi-layer stainless Damascus contains a total of 70 very thin layers of VG-10 and VG-2 steels. Since VG-10 and VG-2 are both \u003cem\u003eHagane\u003c\/em\u003e steel, the layered Damascus steel can be used for the \u003cem\u003eentire\u003c\/em\u003e blade, including the cutting edge; This is known as a \"Core-less Damascus\" blade. Thanks to this state-of-the-art technology it is possible to create a 'perfect blend' that offers a long-lasting, extremely sharp cutting edge and is also resistant to bending, breaking and rusting. The right blend of steel layers can also produce wonderful patterns, such as this beautiful vortex Damascus pattern.
